Luke 15:17-24

Anderson(i) 17 But when he came to himself, he said, How many of my father's hired servants have bread enough and to spare, and I am perishing with hunger! 18 I will arise and go to my father, and I will say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight, 19 and am no longer worthy to be called your son: make me as one of your hired servants. 20 And he arose, and came to his father. And while he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion on him, and ran and fell upon his neck, and kissed him. 21 But his son said to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight, and am no longer worthy to be called your son. 22 But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it- on him, and put a ring on his hand, and sandals on his feet. 23 And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it, and let us eat and be merry; 24 for this my son was dead, and is alive again: he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.
